I know, I know... you won't do it, you like it the way it is. I know. But for me, the info is in the middle, and the heads of the real guys would flow nicely into the poster-head. The rest of the pic contributes nothing except space. And I find that that space doesn't contribute anything. So it's a keeper, but only if I could have my way with it. Yeah well.... <smiley> 2 We all have many more of such pix, than we would like to have. (Except for the majority of the people on this list, so they will love it to bits) 3 Yeah... nice. 4 Well.... let's try be honest, ey Johnny... If one stands on the sidewalk and you press the stutter release when some motorgang drives by... then this is what you get. We've all seen this sort of thing more gripping, no? 5 No 6 Very nice, except for the reflection in the window. 7 Yes, I like it 8 Hmm.... I'd cut the left off. Such that you chop off a little part of the kid in the white shirt. But you won't; don't tell me: I know. 9 Mumble-mumble... not my thing, okay. Too multi-directional, without those directions adding up into something pleasing. I've just been shooting dancers. Modern dance. Wow, now those folks do nice multi-directional compositions! You pic is what I call messy. But I know you love it. 10 Oh... quite good, really. You couldn't find them any uglier, I trust. Nice pic. 11 My oh... aren't they sweet and pretty. Lovely. But I hate that face on the left. Yes, you want it there, I know. 12 No 13 Dunno. Clean pic, but doesn't do a lot for me. I trust Steve Hooray will supply you with the deeper meaning of this pic. 14 Not bad. However, since I'm going to pursue "disgruntled, angsty teenagers" as a theme someday... this would be the sort of pic I'd discard. There's not enough of my theme it it, to make it work. I know... it works for you. 15 Yikes, but.... yeah... good. It really tells the sad story. One can see the stages of the event. 16 Yeah well... you know what I think about this, right. 17 No added value over everyday life. I know... I know... don't tell me. 18 Yeah well..... no. 19 Too many players. But you like it that way. The guy with the cart and just one more person, would have been good enough for me. 20 Myeah... you know..... this is pretty easy to do, so.... (again, the non-shooters on this list will rave about it for days) 21 Oh? There is no 21. I've done some 8 hours of Leica shooting today. I'm having some more of my Diet Coke, and then I'll sleep. Tomorrow there's 10 more hours of Leica shooting in stall for me. Have a good trip to the Land of the Great Mosquito. Bernard.
